Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 adds a second proviso to section 2 (b) (i) of the principal Ordinance, so as to make it clear that officers who are on probation or who are for any reason temporarily employed shall not be pensionable merely because they hold one of the offices which has been declared pensionable by notification.

2. Section 3 of this Ordinance corrects the title of the Kenya and Uganda Railways and Harbours Administration and specifies more clearly the educational service set out in section 2 (d) of the principal Ordinance to comply with instructions contained in the Secretary of State's despatches of the 8th November, 1932, and 6th June, 1933.

3. Section 4 substitutes for section 3 of the principal Ordinance a re-enactment of the same in which at the end of sub-section (1) the words "and to the dependants of such persons where such service is terminated by death” have been added. Section 16 of the principal Ordinance provides for death gratuities to the estates of officers holding pensionable office who are not serving on probation or agreement. It is proposed to provide by Regulations under section 3 for death gratuities to dependants of non-pensionable officers.

4. Section 5 corrects an erroneous typographical reference in section 17 of the principal Ordinance.

July, 1933.
